Can the hydraulic lifters on a Chevy 400 come out of adjustment without having a major problem?

Yes. Sometimes the adjusting nuts wear out and loosen up. If readjusting the valve lash turns out to be a short-term fix, it could be that the cam is worn out.

Why does preloading my hydraulic lifters keep my 350 Chevy from starting when it starts without any preload?
The pros say, "Don't preload the lifters." When they are preloaded, they are basically solid-lifters until they get a chance to cycle a few times. With no 'give' in the valve train, things can break! Either way, don't wrap the motor past 2000 rpm for a few seconds. The parts gotta get "friendly".

How do you fix lifter noise on a 1996 gmc 1500?
SOMETIMES poor maintenance can contribute to sticking lifters. If you suspect that as the cause, try flushing the crankcase with a good additive for removing sludge. It probably won't help, but it's worth a try, just in case that's all that's wrong. If THAT doesn't help, you'll need new lifters and I wouldn't bother putting new lifters in without replacing the camshaft. Hydraulic lifters are self adjusting, so you won't get any benefit from attempting to adjust your valves.
